I'm always on the look out for more good simulation games and Stable Orbit [Steam, Official Site] seems like it could be quite good.
Direct Link
It released from Early Access September 27th.
It has so far managed to get mostly favourable reviews, but from what it seems it is lacking in content and it has no tutorial which seems to be tripping people up.
About the game:
Design, build and control your own space station. Mission command and control is in your hands and only careful planning and vigilant supervision will keep your crew and space station safe. Manage scarce resources, survive a multitude of disasters and fund your station's growth by completing research projects.
Stable Orbit is a highly realistic space management simulation game. Set in 2034, an unprecedented ‘All Nations Space Coalition’ has been formed around a shared desire to rebuild mankind’s permanent presence in space. But space is a dangerous place. The only things between survival and your crew suffocating, blood boiling and radiation overdose are the thin walls of the space station.
Unlike a lot of building sims, this isn't a top-down view where you see little people roaming around trying to build everything. Instead, they've gone for a near-feature realism approach which sets Stable Orbit clearly apart from other building sims. As you orbit a nicely detailed model of our planet, you will deal with disasters, research, completing contracts and more.
One to put on the watch list I think. I would like to see if they plan to add more content.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Anyone ever play Deuteros? It's the sequel to Millennium 2.2, great fun, but most of it is about building space stations and trying to colonize (before of course aliens sweep in and kill everyone.) Weirdly addicting game.
Quoting: slaapliedjeNice, may need to get this.

Deuteros was great. I might get that downloaded and popped on the Atari st hxc :-)

I literally ran into that game a long time ago when I was emulating the ST on Win2k (I think that was when, may have been around 99/2000?) Then ended up playing it for hours. Not sure why I didn't know about it when I used my ST all the time.
